World Cup 2010: Vuvuzela
I don’t particularly enjoy football, but due to the people around me I have been forced to watch the current World Cup.
My experience (and everyone else’s) has been enhanced by the constant presence of the distinct sound of the Vuvuzela. These fuckers have sold out here in the UK and apparently have sold especially well in my neighbourhood where “street twats” play the things the night through. Thanks South Africa.
Here’s some shit I found at NextRound
I quite like the vuvuzela; it drowns out the annoying England travelling band playing When The Saints Go Marching In
Although, since the travelling band added the A-Team theme to their repertoire, their rating has greatly improved.
On the second day of the World Cup, having watched all three games in a row, I went to bed with a B-flat ringing in my ears.
I hadn’t noticed the addition of the A Team theme, but then I was perhaps too busy fretting about the lack lustre performance, and now the pressure Joe Cole will be under when he is inevitably included on Wednesday.
The ebb and flow of the vuvuzela also means that each match sort of takes place in front of a performance of Rhys Chatam or Phill Niblock style proportions.
Am not sure why my initial post came up as Dr.Matt, considering the T.I.S.A.R imagery on the right. Odd…now off for Portugal v PRNK
Because I’m a loser, I actually made a video version of my Phill Niblock point – download at http://silkanddogs.com/Misc/Phill%20Niblock's%20Vuvuzela.avi
